The PBA was right to send Macau home. It would be wrong to close the guest seat with them

Macau lost their last four games by 188 points, and the commissioner says they will not be invited back. Fine. But the Bay Area Dragons took Ginebra to Game 7 of a Finals, and the lesson from Macau is about terms, not about guests.

Macau lost by 60 and by 55 in seven days. The PBA's guest seat should come with a roster promise

Before the break, Macau were 2-6 and lost by about 16 a game. After losing their import and three regular players during the break, they are 0-3 and losing by 45. I want guest teams in the PBA, on one condition.
